Local students were treated to a performance by the Lightwire Theater, a nationally-known performing troupe intertwining dance, lights and storytelling puppetry Friday morning at the Dr. James A. Meyer Community Performing Arts Center near the New Hartford Central School District at 33 Oxford Road.

The performers, featured on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” put two classic children’s fables – “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Tortoise and the Hare” – to new life through larger-than-life puppets lined with multi-colored lights.

An encore of the performance will be open to the public at the same venue on 1 p.m. Saturday.
